Cingulinini is a taxonomic tribe
of very small sea snails, marine
gastropod mollusks in the family Pyramidellidae

, Polyspirella
, Pseudocingulina and Puncticingulina.
As Cingulininae it have been one of eleven recognized subfamilies of the gastropod family Pyramidellidae
(according to the taxonomy of Ponder
& Lindberg
, 1997), the pyrams and their allies. The other 10 subfamilies are Odostomiinae
, Turbonillinae
, Chrysallidinae
, Cyclostremellinae
, Sayellinae
, Syrnolinae, Eulimellinae
, Pyramidellinae
, Odostomellinae
and Tiberiinae

In the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi
(2005), this subfamily Cingulininae has been downgraded to the rank of tribe
Cingulinini and belonging to the subfamily Turbonillinae
